HiPE: Fix check for when ErLLVM is available
2018-10-25hipe: Cleanup and fix specs of the hipe moduleKostis Sagonas
There was a lot of confusion between file vs. module names in the function specification of the hipe module (as also discovered by #1992) and this PR cleans up and fixes them.

2018-10-15HiPE: Fix check for when ErLLVM is availableKostis Sagonas
The previous check whether ErLLVM could be enabled and/or tested simply checked whether a suitable version of the LLVM tool chain was present in the path. Obviously this is not enough: there should also be a check that we are running in an architecture on which the ErLLVM compiler has been ported. Fix the function that provides this functionality and also rename it in order to more appropriately describe what it does. In principle, this change introduces a backwards incompatibility as the function is one of those exported by the `hipe' module, but this function was not documented and the chances that it has been used somewhere else that the test suite are pretty low (if not zero).

2018-09-03Introduce a put_tuple2 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
Sometimes when building a tuple, there is no way to avoid an extra `move` instruction. Consider this code: make_tuple(A) -> {ok,A}. The corresponding BEAM code looks like this: {test_heap,3,1}. {put_tuple,2,{x,1}}. {put,{atom,ok}}. {put,{x,0}}. {move,{x,1},{x,0}}. return. To avoid overwriting the source register `{x,0}`, a `move` instruction is necessary. The problem doesn't exist when building a list: %% build_list(A) -> [A]. {test_heap,2,1}. {put_list,{x,0},nil,{x,0}}. return. Introduce a new `put_tuple2` instruction that builds a tuple in a single instruction, so that the `move` instruction can be eliminated: %% make_tuple(A) -> {ok,A}. {test_heap,3,1}. {put_tuple2,{x,0},{list,[{atom,ok},{x,0}]}}. return. Note that the BEAM loader already combines `put_tuple` and `put` instructions into an internal instruction similar to `put_tuple2`. Therefore the introduction of the new instruction will not speed up execution of tuple building itself, but it will be less work for the loader to load the new instruction.

After this whitespace modification there should be no "can not"s separated by a newline in the entire OTP repository, so to find them all a simple git grep will do just fine.

2018-04-29Introduce is_map_key/2 guard BIFMichał Muskała
This complements the `map_get/2` guard BIF introduced in #1784. Rationale. `map_get/2` allows accessing map fields in guards, but it might be problematic in more complex guard expressions, for example: foo(X) when map_get(a, X) =:= 1 or is_list(X) -> ... The `is_list/1` part of the guard could never succeed since the `map_get/2` guard would fail the whole guard expression. In this situation, this could be solved by using `;` instead of `or` to separate the guards, but it is not possible in every case. To solve this situation, this PR proposes a `is_map_key/2` guard that allows to check if a map has key inside a guard before trying to access that key. When combined with `is_map/1` this allows to construct a purely boolean guard expression testing a value of a key in a map. Implementation. Given the use case motivating the introduction of this function, the PR contains compiler optimisations that produce optimial code for the following guard expression: foo(X) when is_map(X) and is_map_key(a, X) and map_get(a, X) =:= 1 -> ok; foo(_) -> error. Given all three tests share the failure label, the `is_map_key/2` and `is_map/2` tests are optimised away. As with `map_get/2` the `is_map_key/2` BIF is allowed in match specs.
2018-04-26Move erl_types test into a common_test suiteSean Cribbs
The existing test/0 function in erl_types was not being run in the OTP test suite, and it had not been updated to match the implementation in the module (maps vs. dict). This commit removes the macros that excluded some functions, exports the functions now included in the module, and extracts the test into a new common_test suite, erl_types_SUITE.

* 'map-get-bif' of git://github.com/michalmuskala/otp: Introduce map_get guard-safe function OTP-15037
2018-04-24Introduce map_get guard-safe functionMichał Muskała
Rationale Today all compound data types except for maps can be deconstructed in guards. For tuples we have `element/2` and for lists `hd/1` and `tl/1`. Maps are completely opaque to guards. This means matching on maps can't be abstracted into macros, which is often done with repetitive guards. It also means that maps have to be always selected whole from ETS tables, even when only one field would be enough, which creates a potential efficiency issue. This PR introduces an `erlang:map_get/2` guard-safe function that allows extracting a map field in guard. An alternative to this function would be to introduce the syntax for extracting a value from a map that was planned in the original EEP: `Map#{Key}`. Even outside of guards, since this function is a guard-BIF it is more efficient than using `maps:get/2` (since it does not need to set up the stack), and more convenient from pattern matching on the map (compare: `#{key := Value} = Map, Value` to `map_get(key, Map)`). Performance considerations A common concern against adding this function is the notion that "guards have to be fast" and ideally execute in constant time. While there are some counterexamples (`length/1`), what is more important is the fact that adding those functions does not change in any way the time complexity of pattern matching - it's already possible to match on map fields today directly in patterns - adding this ability to guards will niether slow down or speed up the execution, it will only make certain programs more convenient to write. This first version is very naive and does not perform any optimizations.

Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processes
2018-03-21Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processesRickard Green
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system implementation has however previously preformed most operation synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support) it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention issues. The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations of (almost) all signals have been changed. Currently the following signals have been implemented as true asynchronous signals: - Message signals - Exit signals - Monitor signals - Demonitor signals - Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc) - Link signals - Unlink signals - Group leader signals All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the language. The implementation of messages signals was quite asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes. The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file. The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.
